Has there ever been a case where a tribe/nation tried to reclaim the land they had left before?

People usually do not leave suitable land for another, unless they are forced to, so we should be looking at places that were barely suitable and became worse to begin with.
The closest example could probably be Greenland: in the Middle Ages the Nordmen did stablish some colonies there but those could not be maintained due to climate change and had to be abandoned.
But, at a later age, Norway and Denmark did send new expeditions and, nowadays, Groenland is part of Denmark.
As a side note, I agree with your doubts about Reconquista; while the Christian Kingdoms did claim to be the political heirs of the Visigothic Kingdom, most of the people just stayed at their regions and just continued living there, either as Christians (or Jews) under Muslim rule or converting to Islam.

Simplifying greatly, Imperial Russia conquered the Crimean Khanate in the 1780s and settled the peninsula. In 1954 Crimea became part of the Ukranian SSR; it stayed Ukranian after the breakup of the Soviet Union. In 2014, Russia took it back.
(This answer deliberately skips over lots of details about Tatar interests, Cossack incursions, national languages, Soviet politics, little green men, etc. -- see the Wikipedia article on the History of Crimea.)

There are plenty of examples, beginning with the Bible (Babylonian Captivity. The Jews were resettled by force and 60 years later they were permitted to return and settled in the same place).
More recent example is Crimean Tatars: in 1944 the whole population was deported by force from Crimea to the East of Soviet Union. A generation later they were permitted to return and returned.
